#who he is.....

[suffarustuffaru]

im highly predictable and ive made yet another playlist i promise if you hear from me about a playlist again itll probably be another subaru one or something HAH

yeah so. anyway. theres arc 5+ spoilers in this if you listen carefully!!

notes under the cut as always.

the first three songs are the intro to his character in general - "don't forget" is his good intentions and loyalty for example. and also in general theres a good chunk of songs in this playlist with light and dark references (don't forget has "don't forget / i'm with you in the dark" which can be either seen as good or bad) and also a lot about duality, lying, or hidden depths as well (the stranger has "you are not the one you say you are" for example)

ottos character arc is also pretty bittersweet in general so i tried to choose at least some songs that fit that yeah. also a few repeats from my. other otto playlist. but i keep it to a minimum!!

the rezero ost song i included is the song that plays in the anime when we first learn ottos backstory!! it also marks the start of his whole childhood/past and such in the playlist

"sweden" and "sidelines": yes. i know i chose a minecraft song i stand by it. anyway these two songs are very like. quiet. mellow. calming. which doesnt fit ottos dp in the early part of his life but they fit his emotions more at this point id say. it gets that vibe across

also i know ballad of a homeschooled girl is an Interesting choice for this but like. i stand by it okay. its about how cringe fail ottos life is. his life is a series of terribly embarrassing events.

"shots" and "it's time": otto leaves his hometown

"sin triangle": the whole stuff with otto, marone, and the bandits happens!! also the lyric "two faced bitches never lie / and therefore i never lie" is so...........................

the songs following this song are about him getting into debt, him getting a little more wary, etc. "the hand that feeds" is a darker song for sure but its also a nod to the sheer amount of routes that have otto fall into slavery at this point in his life. also a good summary for the money / merchant ideals motifs.

the end of "any way the wind blows" to "you're on your own kid" mark arc 4 <3

"bird tutorial": this is a funny song to put in an otto playlist i think aljsdfls but i meant it as a nod to how hes being socialized (he now has a large group of friends that he lives with). also the transition into arc 4-5 timeskip.

"trouble is a friend": transition into arc 5, also a nod to ottos bad luck, could also see the "trouble" in this song as subaru as well

"consequences" to "canary in a coal mine": otto gets attacked by gluttony, injured as a result, and now hes stuck waiting for subaru <3

"this december": transition into arc 7+

"outrunning karma" and "friends.": i chose them as ending songs bc theyre so.... theyre like kind of innocent sounding but theyre Not Innocent. its a nod to the direction ottos arc is headed atm!!

At the company retreat, one extremely drunk girl asked what my pronouns were. (Eventually, it took her a while to word the question.) After the whole conversation was done, she goes- "YEAHHH GURL, Get on with--with THY bad self! See what I did?? They/them/thy."

I was almost holding back tears from trying not to laugh as I told her yes that's great you nailed it honey. Thank you very much I am feeling the love.

Anyway I've been assigned Thee/Thine at Supportive Drunk Girl

okay okay I know the point of this is “White people need to put as much effort into learning how to pronounce Black people’s names as they do foreign European names” and 100% I totally agree, absolutely good point

but this tweet becomes hilarious in the context of this clip:

anyways, absolutely put effort into learning how people pronounce their names. just don’t feel bad if it takes you some time to get it right 😅

(also in case you didn’t watch the video it’s “N-SHOO-tee” not “SHOO-tee”)

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

I think more people need to play around with Damian's speech. Don't get me wrong, I love the antiquated Victorian child style of speech, but also he's a teenager that swears plenty in the comics. We really need more scenes like:

Damian: Father, I regret to inform you that I have been assigned in-school suspension for the next three days.

Bruce: What, why?!

Damian: My classmate Kevin was disparaging a female classmate for turning him down, so I called him 'a rizz-less, basic-ass neckbeard bitch' and said I was going to fuck his mom and give her a son she'd actually love.

Bruce: *is completely speechless*

Damian: That is all I needed to tell you. If you will excuse me, I have homework to complete before dinner and patrol.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

The worst trauma comes from those who you love

Apparently the local university’s undergraduate entomology course sends students to catch insect specimens at the same place I like to go birdwatching, which explains why I saw three enormous frat looking dudes with tiny bug nets and overheard one emphatically say “bro BRO I told you we already have enough lepidopterans”

Happy pride month maybe I’ll start watching Doctor Who again

[a-drama-addict]

not caring too much about a fandom’s favourite guy is the worst. you’ll think “oh i’ll look into the tag see if anything new and cool’s there” and it’s just that fucking guy again

i drunkenly scheduled a friendly brawl with an acquaintance of mine and we both completely forgot about it. that is until we were sitting next to each other in class and both of us get google calendar alert that reads VIOLENCE AGAINST LEW i about lost my fucking mind. what do you mean violence against me.

and then i fucking remembered i completely shitfaced told him to send me an invite to the brawl and even more that i insisted to type something into the notes of the meeting to make it look "less worse" and he opens the invite and it just says PREMEDITATED. most sinister calendar event ever created i laughed so hard i cried
